Dolby Previews New Technology for Mobile Entertainment at Mobile World Congress

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb 16, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- At the 2009 GSMA Mobile World Congress, Dolby Laboratories, Inc.
(NYSE:DLB), is unveiling details of Dolby(R) Media
Generator, a preprocessing and encoding solution for mobile multimedia
content. The company is also showing the latest Dolby Mobile
implementation on the LG ARENA (LG-KM900) mobile phone, the first
handset for the global market to deliver a surround sound experience for
multimedia content.

Located at booth 7C51 in the Fira de Barcelona, Dolby is demonstrating
how Dolby Media Generator will complement Dolby Mobile. Together, they
will offer a dual-ended solution to enhance mobile entertainment
delivered over the air to mobile phones.

"We are committed to providing a more immersing experience to mobile
entertainment consumers," said Rolf Schmitz, Marketing Director, Mobile,
Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby Mobile and Dolby Media Generator are intended
to make mobile entertainment more compelling. These technologies are
designed to work together, and can help the industry create products and
services that will deliver a superior entertainment experience from
content creation to content playback."

Dolby Media Generator

Dolby Media Generator, a media encoding solution for content viewed on
mobile devices, will use open standard technologies and will leverage
Dolby's experience. Dolby Media Generator will use unique coding
efficiencies that reduce files size and simultaneously deliver superb
sound. Aimed at service providers and content distributors, Dolby Media
Generator, a batch processing software tool, will enable the ingestion
and management of content files for delivery over mobile networks.

Dolby Media Generator will feature Dolby Pulse, an audio codec that
combines the efficiency of HE AAC with Dolby's renowned experience and
capabilities for reliable, high-quality end-to-end software
integrations. Content encoded in Dolby Pulse ensures portability and
integrity of media content and is backward compatible with existing HE
AAC devices. HE AAC is a widely adopted 3GPP standard used by four of
the world's top five handset manufacturers.

Dolby Media Generator will provide automatic validation and repair of
source media to optimize quality control; it will also add metadata for
better content discovery, as well as more accurate tracking, reporting,
and file presentation.

"With Dolby Media Generator, we see a significant advance for delivery
of exceptional media content over the air. The industry will be able to
improve audio quality, reduce file sizes, enhance the consumer
experience, and provide a branded solution that consumers recognize and
value," said Schmitz.

Dolby Mobile

Dolby is also showcasing the latest mobile phones to use Dolby Mobile
for a premium listening experience. Today, Dolby Mobile is available in
11 phones worldwide, including the LG ARENA, the LG Renoir, and 9 models
from Sharp created for the Japan market.

Mobile World Congress will mark the worldwide launch of the LG ARENA,
LG's new flagship model for 2009, which is the first multimedia handset
for the global market to use Dolby Mobile to deliver an exhilarating
surround sound experience for video content and enhance the sound of
music content.
